Any advice on Ayon scorpio integrates?

Hi, quite new to this and first time starting a thread. I am thinking of getting a tube integrated amp at around $2000-3000, for my P3ESR. The ones I have been looking were Primaluna Evo 100, and Unison research Triode25. Then I came to know about Raven and Ayon. Raven seems good but sold out completely so took off from my list to narrow down choices, while Ayon Scorpio seems interesting with A class pentode pushpull, and also as most of their lines are at higher range, making me think there may  be the higher range essence in this lower range scorpio model. Although, there are very few feedbacks or user’s comments on those and would like to ask experienced people here in the forum for any impressions experienced etc..
Not only about the amp itself but mystery is why there are not much of mentioning of Scorpio here either good or bad, despite that could be a interesting alternative to one like Primaluna. 
many advice/comment would be appreciated.

The Ayon  Scorpio may be a fine amp.

They used to be plastered all over the Agon gear page, being  advertised as "best of show" for every component  made, touting Euro this and that. 

I suspect the brand is a made in China like most gear. NOT a bad thing, I'm a PL user.

Odd that, with so many "Best of Show" awards, the brand would be more prominent in mags?

Wherever it's made, shouldn't deter you from buying.

If the dealer seems legit with a solid warranty, that's all that matters.
Some sort of 30 day return  with no, or minimal restock should be offered.

I've read a review years ago on that model, it's supposed to be a nice amp.
